Intellectual freedom, and its related issues, censorship, access, and intellectual property rights, has always been fundamental to library services in the United States. All librarians need a working understanding of both sides of these complex issues.

We would like to hear about your censorship challenges. Please add them to our Challenges Section. Censorship isn't just the outright banning of books, but it's also about the requests to move items to different areas of the library, or discussing the materials with the patrons who are requesting it to be removed, but hasn't gone to the media. ALA doesn't hear about many of these types of challenges, but we want to know about them too. Please take a few minutes to add them to the Challenges section of this wiki. Let us know how you handled it. The more we hear about other librarians dealing with these issues, the easier it is for us librarians under fire to ask for help!
